Yorkshire and The Humber Payment Practices: 5-Year Analysis (2020-2025)
Yorkshire & The Humber: Payment Practices Improve Slightly, Up 4.4 Points Since 2020
The Comparison
- 2020: A survey of 327 companies in Yorkshire and The Humber yielded an average payment practices score of 60.6 out of 100.
- 2025: A similar survey, this time including 272 companies, showed an average score of 65.0 out of 100.
What This Means
While the data indicates an improvement in payment practices across Yorkshire and The Humber, the 4.4-point increase over five years represents only a marginal shift. With approximately 17% less responses recorded, the average score may also represent a bias in respondents who maintain good payment practices. Companies can use a late payment calculator to measure the cost of slow payments.
In brief: Payment practices in Yorkshire & The Humber improved from an average score of 60.6/100 (327 companies) in 2020 to 65.0/100 (272 companies) in 2025.
